PaGandhi

I received the following from my dear friend Val today - I had to share it.

OMG…the world has gone crazy! Everyone wants to be Paris Hilton instead of Mohandas Gandhi! What happened to us? Are we so off track that a girl with blind ambition and a royal name can become an iconic figure?
Gandhi desired a world filled with peace, love and joy. His mission was to unite people and raise the vibration of the planet. On the other hand, Paris just wants to have fun … not that there’s anything wrong with that.
We have become so focused on the outside or external world that we have diverted our attention from the inside and our true spirit. There is a place for both of these energies in this world.
This may sound like I don’t like Paris, but that’s just not true. We need Paris Hiltons in our lives to show us the world can still be fun.
These days, we have a tendency to view things as extremes. On one side we have the power mongers. They want to control people with fear, or by force if necessary. They want all the money and total control of the world. You recognize this type … Saddam, Napoleon, Adolf, corporate executives, politicians and (dare I say this?) some religious leaders. This type exists in all areas of life.
Then we have the “Paris Hilton Effect.” This is a group in which everyone wants to be a celebrity having unlimited resources and their own reality show. Nice work if you can get it.
I am happy to say a new group is emerging. Our goal? To save the world! I know you are one of these people. It’s great to have you on the team. We really care about making the world a better place and helping others in the process.
A lot of these wonderful people are bit too serious I fear. What if we do some blending?
Let’s create a group of people who want to save the world – and have fun in the process!
We could combine the fun of Paris with the incredible healing power of Gandhi.
We could call ourselves the
PaGandhi’s!
Yes, I want to be a
PaGandhi!
As a PaGandhi your mission is:
Create peace
Have fun
Have joy
Laugh (a lot)
Do what you love every day
Help others
Heal others
Create abundance
Save the World!
Gandhi’s most famous quote is…
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Mohandas Gandhi
It is extraordinary in its simplicity and power.
This is the PaGandhi version …
You must be the change you wish to see in the world and enjoy every step of your journey.”
Remember, this is supposed to be a fun adventure. In any adventure there are many ups and downs with twists and turns. Enjoy every minute of your journey because your true mission and purpose will be uncovered along this path.
It is not about achievement…it’s about adventure.
